8/10 Good
"Good location and convenient to shops and stores. Central and easy to drive to locations. Be mindful, there is a charge of 150Nok per day for parking. Make sure all payments are made within 48hrs else with car hire, you can get stung!. The hotel does not provide this information clearly. I was tokd I have 48hrs to pay after checkout! but this is not true! its 48 hrs to pay for each day of parking. Best to pay daily. Payments are made @ Autopay.io. I missed paying for first day and am now waiting for Avis who will charge me handling fee!"

"Easily our favorite stop of the trip. There are lots of local shops/restaurant around within walking distance. We like the proximity to Svolvaer and other walks/hikes in the area. The reception also has souvenirs, snacks and drinks if you don’t feel like walking far for it. The cabin was super neat, comfortable beds and warm atmosphere, however the walls are thin so bring earplugs if you’re a light sleeper. We also met Andrea-super personable and friendly. We wish could’ve stayed longer and will consider staying here again in the future."

10/10 Excellent
"We stayed 3 nights in the 2 bedroom Stromoybua cabin at the lodge. A friendly staff at the lodge personally showed us inside of the cabin when we checked in. The cabin is roomy, modern and comfortable. It sits right along the water’s edge of the harbor with great view of the harbor. We were able to step straight out to the dock for a peaceful morning stroll. Breakfast was served in the lodge’s restaurant with great view of the water. The breakfast food selection was not as sumptuous as the other lodges that we stayed, missing our beloved Norwegian pancakes/waffles, but the service and quality of the food was good. We loved the Lofoten smoked salmon and brown cheese. There is also a locally produced fish liver oil available for tasting. The dinner was a highlight of the restaurant. We had the best tasting dinner at this restaurant for our whole trip in Lofoten. At around midnight on our last night at the lodge, we walked to the open area outside the main lodge building, it was very cold so we stayed in our car to keep warm. There were some light pollution from the lodge, but we was able see the aurora right from inside of our car. We highly recommend staying at this lodge."

"Clean and modern cabins with very beautiful views. Staff was friendly and helpful as well. Plenty of parking available in autumn although I think summer it might be packed. Cabins facing the water is well worth it. If you have got good luck with the weather, you may be able to catch the northern lights or even milky way from the balcony as the location is fairly dark. It would probably be even better if they turn off the remaining orange lights at midnight. There is a sauna that you can reserve for private use and what also appears to be a bbq pit (but i assume nobody uses them in autumn when it was cold). This place is within walking distance to Offersøykammen Trailhead."

8/10 Good
"Positive: the hotel was allocated in an old dock and our room faced the mountain and ocean which was very nice. Breakfast was quite good but not many hot food options. The bathroom was modern and has two shower points so it is a plus for couples! We had dinner at the hotel restaurant and the food was quite good but pricey ( well nothing is not pricey in Norway!!) Negative: The bed was too soft and the bathroom sink was too shallow. The spout of the tap was too long and as a result it was very hard to wash your hands or use the sink without spillage. Our room was on the first floor and there is no lift."
